QuickTip: Let More Than 5 People Listen to Your Music (on iTunes) and Give the RIAA the Middle Finger

Being the astute nerd that I am, I keep my music on a Mac Mini I've had for awhile on the other side of the room. The little guy keeps my music library organized and downloads the latest episodes of the one TV show I watch, The Office.

It's surprising this hasn't happened yet, but my music listening desire was left unfulfilled thanks to the 5 person limit imposed by (basically) the RIAA. I guess people really like my taste in music, or they are using myTunes/ourTunes. My anger seethes.

There's a quick work-around, though. Simply password your library and then include that password in the library's title. Case closed. I can't wait for the day when the RIAA dissolves.
